Is EFF leader and convicted criminal Julius Malema's infamous "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer"-chant a literal call for violence or "just a metaphor"?

Because there are still people (mostly left-wingers and farm murder deniers) that excuse and even celebrate this chant, I've taken up the challenge of thoroughly disproving this twisted, dishonest narrative.

🧵Follow along as we look at decades of evidence:Image
Let's start with the history of the "Kill the Boer"-chant.

As investigative journalist James Myburgh (@Politicsweb) has documented in detail, at the time when the ANC's terror wing uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) were being taught songs and chants in the 1980s calling for the shooting and killing of "the Boers" (the farmers), it was explicit ANC policy for white farmers and civilians to be targeted by MK and others.

What did the post-Apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) hear in regards to the "Kill the Boer"-chant"?

Ntuthuko Chuene, a convicted murderer of a Vryheid farmer admitted to the TRC that his crime was influenced by the "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer" slogan he had heard at ANC rallies.Image

1/ In the 7th century BC, the strong city-state of Corinth founded the colony of Ambracia in an effort to consolidate its trade presence in the West and to relieve various internal social tensions. A recent genetic study illuminates some important aspects of this colonial effort. Image
2/ The genetic data support that the colonists came from the rural area of Tenea and that the colonial undertaking took the form of an organized movement of families and populations, with the result that Amvrakia was not simply a Corinthian trading post, 👉 Image
👉 but a community with strong biological and cultural ties to the metropolis. The intermixing with the local Epirotic populations took place gradually over the centuries, but during the Archaic era it was almost non-existent (South - Helladic gene flow). Image

Your iPhone has been hacked if you see THESE 7 signs.

I ignored #4 for 3 months.

Someone in Russia had full access to my photos, messages, and bank accounts.

Here's what to check RIGHT NOW:
Sign #1: Battery draining faster than usual.

Hacking apps run in the background 24/7.

They're constantly uploading your data, photos, and location.

This drains battery at 3-4x normal rate even when you're not using your phone
Go to Settings → Battery.

Check "Battery Usage by App."

See apps using power that you rarely open?
Red flag.

Especially apps with names like "System Service" or "Background Activity."
That's not Apple.

That's malware.

Devi Lakshmi Emerges from the Ocean - The Psychology of Samudra Manthan… 🔥

Lakshmi didn’t appear first,
Poison did.

Before abundance, there was chaos.
Before wealth, there was toxicity…

This is not just a story,
it’s a psychological truth hidden in the Samudra Manthan.

Ancient wisdom. Inner alchemy. The hard truth about growth.

Read this 2-minute thread…👇Image
In the Puranas, Devas and Asuras churned the cosmic ocean to obtain Amrita (immortality).

But what came out first?
Not nectar.
Not wealth.

It was Halahala - the deadliest poison.
Only after the poison surfaced…
after it was faced, contained, and transformed…

did Maa Lakshmi arise,
radiant, calm, divine.
This sequence is everything.

Closed the month of March with 1522% gains trading 0DTEs. No lotto. Just process. 🎯

💡 What made the difference?
• Trading with trend using the 9EMA
• Entries only on reclaims or clean retests
• Targeting GEX + key liquidity levels
• Scaling profits while letting runners deliver outsized gains
This is how you turn 0DTEs from gambling into a repeatable system.
Consistency > luck.

We do this every day at New Age Trading (@NewAgeTradez) with PB (@pbinvesting)
#SPY #QQQ #IWM #OptionsTrading #0DTE #DayTrading #NewAgeGains #IndexKing #ShaddyTrades

We traded SPY, QQQ, and IWM using one core idea: 9EMA control + GEX targets + disciplined exits. Here are the highlight plays 👇
🔥 Trade 1: SPY 681C
Entry came on a clean 9EMA reclaim — price lost it, reclaimed it with strength, and held on the retest. That’s our signal buyers are back in control.
We rode momentum straight into the 682 GEX level, where liquidity and dealer positioning often create resistance.
➡️ Result: ~115% gainsImage
Image
🔥 Trade 2: SPY 655C
Same setup, different day.
We waited for confirmation reclaim of the 9EMA, no chasing. Once price reclaimed and held, we entered calls.
From there, momentum built steadily with higher lows riding the 9EMA.
We scaled out into the 657 GEX level, where price typically reacts due to hedging flows.

➡️ Runners → 160%
💡 Key here: patience on entry + letting runners pay.Image
